Flood management is more and more adopting a risk based approach, whereby flood risk is the product of the probability and consequences of flooding. One of the most common approaches in flood risk assessment is to estimate the damage that would occur for floods of several exceedance probabilities (or return periods), to plot these on an exceedance probability-loss curve (risk curve) and to esti...

rural community and their services, productive activities, because of strong relation with environment, from long bygone were exposed to disastrous natural power. therefore residents of every region by experiment, apply the approaches and measurement to contrast with these events and reduce the damage of them in their community. public attention focused on physical factor and human making envir...

As flood events tend to happen more frequently, there is a growing demand for understanding the vulnerability of infrastructure to flood-related hazards. Such demand exists both for flood management personnel and the general public. Modern software tools are capable of generating uncertainty-aware flood predictions. However, the information addressing individual objects is incomplete, scattered...

Provision of early flood warning is an important strategy in reducing flood damage and loss of life. To increase warning lead-time and mitigate impacts more efficiently, flood forecasting systems are increasingly becoming an essential step in the warning process. Development of these has traditionally been initiated by local authorities, and often these systems were no more than a dedicated use...
